This hat was inspired from my love for outdoors and family walks in the woods. I wanted to knit for my son something that is warm, cozy and that can be worn from fall to spring when we go out in the chilly days. The hat is worked entirely in the round from the bottom to top in the lovely cable texture, makes it unique and perfect accessory both for kids and adults. The pattern is easy to follow and includes full written directions for cables as well as charts, so you can choose which you prefer! All special techniques are explained in the pattern!
